**According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H).

This is called a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack.

GHSA-5gpr-w2p5-6m37: PhpSpreadsheet allows absolute path traversal and Server-Side Request Forgery when opening XLSX file

### Summary It's possible for an attacker to construct an XLSX file which links media from external URLs. When opening the XLSX file, PhpSpreadsheet retrieves the image size and type by reading the file contents, if the provided path is a URL. By using specially crafted `php://filter` URLs an attacker can leak the contents of any file or URL. Note that this vulnerability is different from [GHSA-w9xv-qf98-ccq4](https://github.com/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet/security/advisories/GHSA-w9xv-qf98-ccq4), and resides in a different component. ### Details When an XLSX file is opened, the XLSX reader calls `setPath()` with the path provided in the `xl/drawings/_rels/drawing1.xml.rels` file in the XLSX archive: ```php if (isset($images[$embedImageKey])) { // ...omit irrelevant code... } else { $linkImageKey = (string) self::getArrayItem( $blip->attributes('http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships'), 'link' ); if (isset($images[$linkImag...

GHSA-xwgj-vpm9-q2rq: Vulnerable juju introspection abstract UNIX domain socket

### Impact An abstract UNIX domain socket responsible for introspection is available without authentication locally to any user with access to the network namespace where the local juju agent is running. On a juju controller agent, denial of service can be performed by using the `/leases/revoke` endpoint. Revoking leases in juju can cause availability issues. On a juju machine agent that is hosting units, disabling the unit component can be performed using the `/units` endpoint with a "stop" action. ### Patches Patch: https://github.com/juju/juju/commit/43f0fc59790d220a457d4d305f484f62be556d3b Patched in: - 3.5.4 - 3.4.6 - 3.3.7 - 3.1.10 - 2.9.51 ### Workarounds No workaround. ### References https://github.com/juju/juju/blob/725800953aaa29dbeda4f806097bf838e61644dd/worker/introspection/worker.go#L125
